PowerPoint saved as responsive doesn’t maintain aspect ratio during preview

I created a PowerPoint Captivate Project and then saved it as responsive. When I use the layout preview while working on the project, the slides maintain aspect ratio as they change size. But when I do a project preview and change the size, the slides get squished or stretched instead of maintaining aspect ratio. Why?

Note: I selected maintain aspect ratio when I imported the PP slides. And I cannot create a Responsive project and then import the PP because I am on a Mac.

I was using Fluid boxes, but realistically I wasn’t doing anything at all. Just importing the PP slides, and the slides seemed to end up as the background image and not part of a fluid box at all. If I don’t save the PP as responsive, and just do a basic PP import and project, how will the course show up on different devices? Will the project automatically be resized? Because that’s why I was saving it as responsive.

PPT itself is NOT responsive. A PPT slide is conveerted to a sort of movie slide which plays what was set up in PPT, nothing more. Publish to HTML5 and check the option ‘Scalable HTML. It will always be in landscape but could rescale to the browser resolution of the used device.

Which type of responsive workflow did you use? Fluid boxes or Breakpoints?
